Building Your Project

The HotChai.Serialization library can be used either as a NuGet package or as a Visual Studio shared project.

NuGet Package

The HotChai.Serialization library is available as a NuGet package. All of the supported encodings are conveniently included in this package.

Shared Project

The HotChai.Serialization library can also be used as a Visual Studio shared project.

The advantage of this approach is that you can compile the library with the same .NET version as your primary project and avoid .NET dll version dependency issues, and you can selectively include only the encodings that you require.

Add the HotChai.Serialization.Core shared project and each of the appropriate HotChai.Serialization.* project(s) that you require for the encodings used in your project.
